Hi SherylMack
Personally I think your first suggestion is the most practical. If you have a Premier subscription, you can specify multiple locations. However once you activate this, then for EVERY transaction you need to specify which location you are using - this can be a pain as it is an extra step for EVERY item purchased or sold. Also Premier lacks an Item Movement report, so there is no visible history to track item movements between locations.

If you want to account for delays in transit, receive to a Transit location. More effort but reflects reality.
Thanks Mike - I had been thinking of setting up a Supplier Card for the interstate location.
Kind regards
